Input/Output Wiring Validation
The FAC4911 controllers ship with a default state
that can assist in validating the wiring of the input
and output terminals prior to download of an
application file. When the controller is powered on
in this state, the Fault LED will flash in a pattern of
two quick blinks and then a long pause (see Table
8).
To make use of this feature, ensure the rotary
switches are set to the desired controller number
and wire the input and output terminals. Apply
power to the FAC controller and connect to the
device with either a MAP Gateway or MS-DIS1710-0
Local Display to view the points in the controller.
The FAC controller will report an Operational status
even though there is no true application loaded.
CCT will not be able to commission or upload
the device as a result until a true application is
downloaded. The application name displayed will be
the controller number followed by the model of the
controller and “Default State”.
For example, a FAC4911 controller whose rotary
switches are set to 8 would have the default state
application name of “8-FAC4911 Default State”.
The default state creates I/O points for all
connections on the input and output terminals.
It assumes all Universal Inputs (UIs) are Nickel
temperature sensors. All Configurable Outputs
(COs) are treated as Binary Outputs (BOs) with an
initial value of 0. The default state also takes input
from a Network Sensor at address 199. If there is
no connected Network Sensor, the startup of this
default state will be delayed by 30 seconds as the
controller attempts to establish connection with the
sensor.
Commissioning Field controllers
You commission controllers with the CCT software,
either via a Bluetooth
®
Wireless Commissioning
Converter, a ZFR wireless dongle, MAP 4.2+/ BACnet
Router (Mobile Access Portal (MAP) Gateway at
version 4.2 or above), or in passthrough mode when
connected to an NAE or NCE. Refer to
Controller
Tool Help (LIT-12011147)
for detailed information on
commissioning field controllers.
Note:
The MAP Gateway serves as a
replacement for the BTCVT, which is no longer
available for purchase, but continues to be
supported.
Firmware Package File
The MS-FCP-0 equipment controller firmware
package files are required for CCT to configure and
commission the controllers. The firmware package
files also allow you to upgrade an existing controller
to the latest firmware release available for that
controller.
Beginning at CCT Release 13, the firmware package
files are orderable separately; they are not included
with CCT. They are obtained from the
Metasys
software licensing portal, and are loaded and
licensed on the computer/server that is running
CCT.
For additional information about the firmware
package files, refer to the
CCT Installation Instructions
(LIT-12011259)
.
Troubleshooting Field Controllers
Observe the Status LEDs on the front of the field
controller and see the table below to troubleshoot
the controller. To troubleshoot an integral or
local controller display, refer to the
DIS1710 Local
Controller Display Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011270)
.

LED color
Normal LED state Description of LED states
POWER
Green
On Steady
Off Steady = No Supply Power or the controller’s polyswitch/resettable fuse is
open. Check Output wiring for short circuits and cycle power to controller.
On Steady = Power Connected
FAULT
Red
Off Steady
Off Steady = No Faults
On Steady = Device Fault; no application loaded; Main Code download required,
if controller is in Boot mode, or a firmware mismatch exists between the FAC and
the ZFR1811 Wireless Field Bus Router.
Blink - 2 Hz = Download or Startup in progress, not ready for normal operation
Rapid blink = SA Bus communications issue
